I'll be at work of all places... Boo! Yeah me too, fu^&ers. devildog1679 08-25-2008, 08:06 PM :lol: Damn, that guy knows nothing about the RX-8. He said it would outrun a 350z and infinity G37. He even said it was one of the fastes production cars ever made Now I can't beleive anything else this guy ever says. Bad info Falken 08-25-2008, 08:06 PM Damn, that guy knows nothing about the RX-8. He sadi it would outrun a 350z and infinity G37. Now I can't beleive anything else this guy ever says. Bad info You beat me to it. Wouldn't it be nice if that were true.... devildog1679 08-25-2008, 08:07 PM You beat me to it. Wouldn't it be nice if that were true.... Yea, I ran to be the first :) chancejat 08-25-2008, 08:08 PM omg...this guy is a moron.... Falken 08-25-2008, 08:09 PM Yea, I ran to be the first :) By like...30 seconds. I paused to eat my reeses cup. Rotary Mike 08-25-2008, 08:09 PM Yea, I ran to be the first :) I'm watching it right now. I've watched all of the episodes, he is fed a lot of bad info. An RX-8 could outrun a 350Z and G37....on the worlds tightest track! :lol: It's cool they found a NSU to drive TeeFar 08-25-2008, 08:11 PM he said the RX8 engine was "perfect" http://i34.tinypic.com/b507zb.gif Rotary Mike 08-25-2008, 08:17 PM I love the Mark IV Corvette. "GM discovered that while the Rotary made great power, it was a gas hog..." Yeah, not exactly the best car for 1974 devildog1679 08-25-2008, 08:21 PM H said the engine was efficiant, well I guess 238hp from 1.3 l is but not 16mpg from 1.3L :) gundarx 08-25-2008, 08:29 PM Haha that was the most optimistic review of the 8 I ever saw.. and the one thing he didn't like were the suicide doors :lol: devildog1679 08-25-2008, 08:32 PM There is going to be alot of talk on the 350Z and G37 forums. lilring 08-25-2008, 08:38 PM i like how he didnt say anything about how bad the gas is and hasnt improved at all since it was first introduced in 1957.. and "its the fastest sports car" lol.. what is he smoking. lol.. but he is right about the back seat and rear doors.. sport cars dont need them but it is nice once in a while.. Even on top of that he said it has a PERFECT WANKEL in it. lol.. i guess he doesnt know that they like to blow up. mulkio 08-25-2008, 08:42 PM not a word about great handling, or wonderful sound from engine ,or crappy mpg i dont think he drove it more than 5 minutes , just long enough to film FAIL chrism 08-25-2008, 08:48 PM who the hell wrote his script? lilring 08-25-2008, 08:49 PM ^ who ever wrote it.. sucks... heyarnold69 08-25-2008, 09:01 PM That was the worst script ever!!!! no rx7? and there was an rx1 and that wasnt it! grrrrr! Razz1 08-25-2008, 09:05 PM funny, I didn't see a damn thing tonight. lilring 08-25-2008, 09:15 PM i thought for sure they would have an FD on there.. but no. that kinda sucked. JRichter 08-25-2008, 09:33 PM LOL, that was the funniest shit I've ever seen. I had to keep looking at the car to make sure he was talking about an RX-8. He could at least act like he knew anything about the car or any cars for that matter. That's the last time I watch that show. lol Vyndictive 08-25-2008, 09:53 PM Yea. . . I made sure to DVR this. I agree. There is a reason most of us have probably never heard of this show before. It was stupid. That guy didn't know anything about reviewing cars. It seemed like this guy never even read a car and driver article in his life. Don't get my wrong. I love my 8. But I know it has short comings. Its not "fast" like a 350Z - meaning in a straight line - and if the rotary is so perfect.... why is the rx8 the only car in production with one? If it were that much better, someone else would try one. It almost makes me feel like we're the idiots that want so much to be different that we have an engine that is cool, but not nearly the best option for the type of car we want to drive. Vyndictive 08-25-2008, 09:55 PM Also - Did the host remind anyone else of Flava Flav? "Yeeaaaaa Boooyyyyyy!" That show sucked. I'll stick with top gear on BBC TeeFar 08-25-2008, 10:22 PM Also - Did the host remind anyone else of Flava Flav? "Yeeaaaaa Boooyyyyyy!" ??? No? RK 08-25-2008, 10:37 PM Random. Kinda neat to see them use a 09. And the vette was cool. But he was so wrong about the 8 it probably wasn't even a chevy... j_tso 08-25-2008, 11:53 PM and there was an rx1 and that wasnt it! grrrrr! But he was so wrong about the 8 it probably wasn't even a chevy... what just happened? robrecht 08-26-2008, 05:24 AM Pretty lame, but at least it was kind of nice to see him drive an NSU Spider. Then the Checker Cabs came on and I thought, no way they had rotary engines! PBlue 08-26-2008, 08:34 AM That was the wanker part. Actually i thought there wasnt a rx1, there was a rx2, rx3, rx4 (Luce) etc but the 1 was called R100. But the guy is an idiot, After watching topgear at 8, he is a disappointment at 9. Nice things he said, untrue though they may be. He's probably the 2nd worst car show host after the "car crazy" meguiar's guy. Still the show aint bad if you watch it on mute. except for the fact that "101 cars you must drive"?? Who the hell can drive the vette. Theres only ONE with the original rotary and its in a museum. Unless you're a master theif and master mechanic, you aint driving it. JTtheDude 08-26-2008, 11:33 AM I agree that it was a horrible review, after the first commercial I knew they were done talking about the 8. Can they please get a better host than a comedian from Last Comic Standing? I love the comment about how it will outrun Z's and G35's, he obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. knicks1984 08-26-2008, 12:44 PM Damn it! i missed it, i'll catch it tonight then. CyberPitz 08-26-2008, 12:54 PM From the sounds of it, I'm not missing much...hmmm. chiketkd 08-28-2008, 08:56 AM From the sounds of it, I'm not missing much...hmmm. Not much at all. Nice to see the RX-8 get air time though. |
